The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V

[Hydromet]

I was always taught that you don't ask questions about anyone's health issues unless they raise the subject first. Answered the phone to one of Mrs. H's friends, who wanted to know the ins & outs of a duck's bum about my forthcoming surgery. I told her that I'd decided I was a woman trapped in a man's body and was having a sex change op. I think she believed me for a couple of seconds.

As I end up not knowing what day is, I missed an important day on past years - May 1st: when thanks to the effect of a strike a well respected couple was moving between residences.

I hope to see them again soon

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Double holiday yesterday...Kentucky Derby and Star Wars Day.
Add in the fact that all three occurred on a weekend will probably lead to massive partying aftereffects.

Good morning, rather a pretty line-up in the northeast at the moment, of Saturn, Mars, the old crescent Moon, and Mercury.
4°C now, expecting fog to arrive and then a clearance again later; up to 11.

A nice day on the Humber got up to 18C and we got well into the pressure washing of the front slabs, tomorrow is forecast to be similar so I expect we will get it finished.The trouble is it makes you tired and gives you a good excuse to go to bed early, unfortunately for the first time for some years I have become interested in a drama on tv and it shows late on a Sunday night!! I think our telly is 49", we changed to a bigger one because we were having trouble reading the writing when the news came on. The bigger tv made it easier.

Brought some late roses indoors yesterday, placed them in a vase on the hall table, then saw a green Praying Mantis on them. We gesticulated at each other for a moment - was he the same one that I saw on the roses in April? Is he tired of me disturbing his day? - and I managed to take the vase and all outdoors and shoo him away.

[Hydromet]

Good morning all, steady, solid rain overnight, but cleared this morning and it's now nice & sunny. Currently 17C, forecast max 19C. Washing & housework day today, but will find time to have a nice walk in the sun.

Do you think his prayers were answered?

I hope so, not a lot of passing prey for him indoors

Hazy morning here. Sun forecast later, rain this evening, thunderstorm tomorrow, then getting HOT. It's been an unusual Spring here, we normally slam from Winter straight into Summer.
Off to gym to make myself stiff and have something to complain to Mrs OFSO about.

Did you disturb it as it prayed for prey, pray?

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Sunny. Mrs Ex-Ascot was in the bath in the safari bathroom yesterday and a large Mozambique spiting cobra wandered in. Bath time was foreshortened. Chaos at the safari camp Saturday night a herd of cattle broke down their electric fence and went in looking for water. One cow in their pond again and this time one in the swimming pool as well. It had to be pulled out using a vehicle. They were up until 06.00. This is going to be an increasing problem.

Can't be called 'respected' but we hit terra firma at ATH Τρίτη 3rd Σεπτέμβριος (03/09) in the afternoon from the sand pit. Ship on 4th.

I hope you are ready for a couple of lagers that day... How come and you picked the sand pit route over the chocolate and milk one?

[Hydromet]

Good morning all, day started out with clear blue skies, but it's now clouding over. Currently 13C, forecast max 18C.

[OFSO]

Six times peeing in night makes me tired this morning.

Wind howling thru bedroom window. Clouds scudding across blue sky. Day at home waiting for Big River to bring new TV.

[Ex-Ascot]

Morning folks. Sunny. Thatching.

We have booked Swiss twice now, on Capetonian's advice, and had to cancel twice. Covid and me being ill. A friend who normally flies Emirates from ATH thought that she would give Swiss a bash when she came to see us last month. She was not impressed. She got her meals thrown at her when it suited them not her. You don't get a cabin with a door. They were not very attentive and lots of other little things. She did however get an escort and a car to the terminals instead of a bus or walk. And, only one small piece of Swiss chocolate . With Emirates you get as many Belgium choccies as you wish. In one case a whole carrier bag of them. Swiss is shorter though. Swiss still owe us a considerable amount of money for the first cancelation.

Just heard that yesterday Wild Life Dept shot the two hippos (mother and calf) that came past last week. There is nowhere close by that they can relocate them to. A bit worried that they have shot the rest of the pod. We heard shooting nearby.

G’day

19°c, The soothsayer is going for 23°c.
Dome at present.
Heading for a week in the low 20s
The Right arm thrombosis has re-appeared.
Ginger was quite impressed, even more when she told me to use Thrombosid and I replied ‘I am’
re-visit in a week for assessment.

Off to the purgatory of Nerja to replenish SM’s whiskey stock.

Yesterday I don't think there was even a ripple on the Humber,you would hardly have detected even a gentle zephyr on your cheek bone and the temperature reached 19C and we finished most of the outside stuff and sat outside with a glass of champagne to celebrate! Today it is as dull as dishwater and the T is struggling to make 14C. The forecast for the remainder of the week is better.The Australân daughter has declared that she will come home in August and go back to Oz at the end of December,just like last year, but she doesn't mind if we go away for a couple of weeks in October.
S he is presently staying somewhere on the south coast of Victoria near Port Fairy and sent me a picture of her early morning walk along the beach with a view of an aquamarine Southern Ocean, looked a bit chilly but attractive..
